Howdy,

Rich ( parfive) asked me to post some pics of the central CA jasper that had come off the saw so here ya go Rich: Pic #1 is a highly agatized piece of Stone Canyon Jasper. Pic #2 is a slab off the only red piece of Cambria Jasper I've ever found. Pic#3 is another rare one from Hog Canyon ( Boar Canyon) near Parkfield ( all greens from this outcrop). Pic #4 I just had to post as this is a new hunk of Burro Creek Paint Agate from Arizona I got in trade the other night at a gem club meeting. Enjoy....mel
